Wild hair...


I had a haircut yesterday and nobody noticed. I wonder why? Maybe because I like my hair wild and unruly.... and I don't want anybody to see that it's trimmed nicely. Anyway.... I felt like creating something with wild hair, so this is what came out.

4" x 4", mixed media painting on watercolor paper.

A new ACEO - Wise Old Owl.
I started doing something with the back sides of my ACEOs. I don't have a good reason for it, except that I like when they look interesting from both sides. Of course, I add the title, my name, date, mediums.... on the back side.

I need a Music Muse.......

8" x 10" canvas mixed media, collage painting.

I just started to play the piano again after many years and I'm not good as I thought I would be (wonder why?). That's where the inspiration for this canvas came from....

My blog has a first comment! That is so exciting! Thanks Annax... Let's see if I know how to put a link to your blog.

I stayed with the same color scheme and texture, but with formats that I'm used to. Here is a new ACEO:


and a new art squared (4x4):



I received the best compliment this evening. My DH is always very supportive of my work, but his comment on these last pieces was... overwhelming. He said: "They (my art pieces) are finally starting to look like you - powerful and beautiful". Wasn't that a great compliment?

Texture

I tried something new. It is not easy for me to create without faces and words, but I tried. There is an article by Kim Grant in the winter "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" where she describes the process she uses to create her textured mixed media paintings. This is my interpretation.
